TIL - Viagra keeps a lot more than the obvious upright.

in #til8 years ago

It has been proven that cut flowers in a vase of water with Viagra dissolved in it would stay in an upright position up to a week longer than they usually would.

As discovered by Israeli and Australian researchers, mixing small doses of Viagra in a vase of water allows cut-flowers to stand erect for up to a week without wilting because Viagra retards the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and that 1 mg of the drug in a solution is good enough for the plants to stand attentive for a week.

This is interesting information. I work as a floral designer and will be sure to pass this along.

Haha, that is pretty interesting! I wonder if we will see florists on the street corner trying to buy Viagra :P
